From the reviews:
"This superb book offers what it says on the cover: an evidence base from which to approach difficult decisions ..." (The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007)
"This is a critical review of the most recent literature on common problems in thoracic surgery. … The book achieves its objective of providing the best evidence surrounding common problems in general thoracic surgery. … aimed at practicing thoracic surgeons, the book is also highly recommended for residents in cardiothoracic surgery for daily reference and preparation for the board examination. … In short, this is highly recommended to all with an interest in the field of thoracic surgery." (Varun Puri, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2008)
